Easy Interview

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Google in October 2017.

Interview

I applied for the job through Google careers website and received an email to set up an initial phone interview about 2 days later. The initial phone interview was pretty basic, it was mostly to learn more about the position and for me to tell the recruiter about my experiences and how I thought they aligned with the position.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google.

Interview

First round interview. Interviewer coasted through questions, I ultimately ended the conversation. As excited as I was about working for google the questions made me rethink that decision in the moment.

Interview Questions

They asked those common &#034;googly&#034; questions like &#034;why are manhole covers round&#034; and &#034;if you and a friend were on the same flight what are the odds you&#039;d be sitting next to each other?&#034; which aren&#039;t even really good logic questions and have nothing to do with the position.

Standard Google process. First, contacted by Google recruiter. Resume run-down, career aspirations, and position that he/she is recruiting for.

People Operations Interview

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Chicago, IL) in January 2015.

Interview

I was contacted a few months after submitting my application to set up an interview. My recruiter was very prompt and quick to arrange meetings around my schedule. I was given some interview tips and hints from Google in the form of articles or website links.

At thefirst interview, which was over Google Hangouts, I was asked a series of behavioral questions and "fit" questions to see how I might fit into the Google environment. My 2nd interview was more case-based with rapid fire questions. At the end of both 45 minutes interviews, I was also given ample time to ask questions.

Interview Questions

They asked me why I wanted to work for Google. While that seems simple, determining how my interests aligned with Google's and how an internship would be mutually beneficial was difficult. 1 Answer

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Singapore (Singapore)) in November 2015.

Interview

Very transparent process. Good introduction of the interviewer and run-down of what would be assessed. Recruiter gave prompt feedback and interviews were set up very quickly. There is first a phone screen from the recruiter, then a first round phone interview with a team member, a face to face interview with the hiring manager, more face to face interviews with others, and then the final Google recruitment committee selection process.
